Tarot horoscope for the week of December 2nd to 8th for each zodiac sign

In the week ofDecember 2nd to 8th, 2024Scorpios and Capricorns can look forward to the positive effects of Mars retrograde.

This applies to all zodiac signsand its symbolic language, taking astrological aspects into account, helps to create access to one's own inner truth and to reveal which topics are important.

Aries: Four of Pentacles

The Four of Pentacles represents the energy of stability, security and material success. It represents a strong desire to create a solid foundation and build wealth. However, the Four of Pentacles can be interpreted positively or negatively, depending on your current mindset.

When the Four of Pentacles appears, it is important to examine your relationship with money and material possessions. It is like that, dear: On the one hand, the Four of Pentacles can mean that you have been successful, have achieved many of your goals, and are on the path to significant material wealth. On the other hand, there is also the danger of evaluating things only based on their material value.

Of course you want to ensure that you remain financially stable, but the danger is placing excessive emphasis on appearances and...to lay. After all, wealth is not only expressed in the bank balance. The Four of Pentacles reminds you to examine your expectations of wealth and success, and this is where the(until December 15th) represents an opportunity because it is the time when you can effectively and realistically examine and evaluate how things are.

Taurus: Six of Pentacles reversed

In general, the reversed Six of Pentacles represents an unfair power dynamic, an unbalanced give and take, a lack of generosity. In your case, dear Taurus, this week's card has mostly to do with money and finances.

You shouldn't lend money now and you shouldn't expect debts that others owe you to be paid back straight away. You may also have trouble spending and giving away more than you can really afford. It's probably a good idea to review your budget for the rest of the year, especially for Christmas gifts. Also be careful about investments. Nevertheless, this card is also an opportunity, because...is an ideal time to examine and evaluate what you have and where you stand financially. You can realistically identify what you're spending too much money on and start planning your budget for next year until December 15th.

Gemini: Eight of Cups

The Eight of Cups is about a transition and leaving a situation. A cloaked figure leaves eight golden chalices to head for a barren land. This decision may result from boredom or dissatisfaction.

Maybe you're bored with your life right now, maybe you're dissatisfied, wondering if that's it, maybe you're looking for a higher meaning. Maybe you've explored different options and tried some paths, but have come to the conclusion that your true happiness doesn't lie in the status quo. You want something different and you set off, even if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

The journey of the Eight of Cups also symbolizes the search for excitement. All of this could apply to you this week. The only important thing is to know that final decisions are not advisable during Mercury retrograde. You may be missing information that arrives after December 15th, when Mercury goes direct again. However, if you have been dissatisfied with a situation for a long time, there is nothing wrong with leaving it - but this can be done mentally before you let everyone know.

Cancer: Ace of Wands

Amidst Mercury's cloudy, confusing retrograde, there's a moment of clarity: a cazimi on December 5th. Around this date, clarity returns as Mercury joins forces with the Sun. The two are particularly close, the sun bathes Mercury in very bright rays and eliminates any confusion (at least in the short term).

Whatever this retrograde is trying to convey to you is becoming clear and clear now. Be attentive. Your Ace of Wands, a wonderful gift from the universe, will be a sharp insight, a stark increase in your chakra energies and can appear in many forms. From December 4th, keep a record of what you notice and think of, pay attention to your dreams, encounters, inspiration, ideas and also coincidences. You start the last month of this year with an Ace of Fire - what a gift!

Leo: The Hermit

On December 6th, Mars turns retrograde in your sign, dear Leo, and remains so for the next three months. This retrograde phase asks you to question impulsive decisions and stubborn behaviors. Mars retrograde periods teach us to pause and reflect on our goals and actions.

The hermit symbolizes this journey inward to reflect what true heroism means in the current situation. You will have to ask yourself whether you are on the right path and whether your decisions are sustainable in the long term. Ask yourself what costs and consequences await you if you continue down this path. Give yourself time to answer and remember: all the answers are within you!

Virgo: Nine of Cups

Make a wish, love! The Nine of Cups is also called the wish card and represents emotional fulfillment, happiness and contentment. When it appears, it means good news for all aspects of your life - health, love, work, lifestyle, well-being. You wallow in the fullness of life and experience your feelings with intensity and joy. Your heart overflows with love and appreciation for everything that exists in your life and everything that you have created. This week the following applies: This card gives a very good, crackling energy, especially in matters of love.

If you don't identify with this, consider this: Life presents you with an abundance of opportunities to accept good things every day. Every day you have the choice: to feel passion and a sense of the wonders of life or to be cold and cynical about them. The Nine of Cups is a very good omen that you will get your wish fulfilled. But first you have to feel comfortable in your life and recognize its fantastic prospects.

Libra: Two of Wands

The Two of Wands follows the Ace of Wands, which is a beginning, a very first spark or seed. Once the seed is planted, it must first germinate: it is a phase of silence in which, from the outside, not much happens. It can be, lovethat you recently came up with a great new idea and want to get started. The Two of Wands advises you: not yet.

That's exactly what this card is about. Be very quiet with your idea. Feel into her. Let them wander around in your head. All the elements are represented in this card: the fire of idea, the air of your intellect, the water of your feelings and the earth of your body. Now is the time to stop and figure out where you want to go and what you want to achieve and most importantly: what steps are necessary to get there.

It is not advisable to get started during Mercury retrograde. Just wait and start planning. From December 15th, more ideally from January 2nd, 2025, when Mercury's post-shadow phase is over, it is advisable to act and get started, and you will do this well if you have a good and precise plan.

Scorpio: Wheel of Destiny

The Wheel of Fortune is one of the most symbolic cards in the deck, full of characters that have their own meaning. In the middle of the wheel are the four fixed signs of the zodiac - Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. So you're in the middle of it all!

In general, the Wheel of Fate represents all the events that seem to occur at random and over which you feel like you have no control over them. The edge of the wheel represents the outside world with all its chaos. The center of the wheel represents your center, the center of your best self. The more often you find your center and your center, the more you are okay with not being able to control everything, the lighter and happier you will feel.

Starting December 6th, Mars will go retrograde, which will mark you asespecially since Mars used to be your ruling planet (before Pluto was discovered). This retrograde offers you the opportunity to turn cynical, pessimistic moments into hopeful, optimistic ones. There's at least one lucky twist this week that comes as a complete surprise.

Sagittarius: Six of Wands

In the week when the sun is firmly in your sign, you will celebrate success, dear Sagittarius. What is there to celebrate? This may become clear to you on December 5th, when a Mercury cazimi provides a moment of truth and clarity. Mercury, which is also in your sign, will be retrograde until December 15th, but on December 5th the Sun and Mercury will be particularly close, and the sun's bright rays will briefly resolve any Mercury confusion.

Everything this retrograde wants to tell you - because every retrograde has its own specific meaning - could become clear to you on this day. This also means that this success will not necessarily be visible on the outside (although that is certainly possible), but rather represents an internal realization that will immediately have a positive effect on your courage, optimism and drive. You feel like a winner and act like one. You let your crew and your fans celebrate you and don't forget what you owe them. You deserve your success, dear– be proud of it!

Capricorn: The chariot

The Chariot is a card from the Major Arcana and as such represents an important life lesson or phase. This card asks you to activate your inner strength, face your fears and embrace the unknown with confidence. She emphasizes the importance of taking control of your own destiny, taking risks and pursuing what you really want from life - even without guarantees. This is sometimes your weak point: Why should I put in the effort if it's not clear that it will result in success? The car says: because it is like that. Get going! The chariot tells you that true victory lies not in achieving a goal, but in the moment of choosing courage over fear.

This is especially important in view of the retrograde phase of Mars (from December 6, 2024). Here an inward journey is suggested that leads towards your true heroism. You can work on your courage and recognize and use your determination throughout Mars retrograde (until February 23, 2025). While Mars is retrograde, there may also be a general feeling of sluggishness or a lack of motivation. This also plays into your hands, because this journey will take place primarily within you, instead of relying on blind actionism.

Aquarius: Nine of Pentacles

On December 6th, Venus, the planet of beauty, love and money, moves into your sign, dear Aquarius! This transit makes everyone, but especially you, keen to experiment with friendships, love, and money matters. We are drawn to unconventional ideas and people.

Venus inchallenges us to seek new perspectives. Because your card is the Nine of Pentacles, this will primarily affect your attitude towards wealth. What does he mean to you? How can you achieve more of it? The Nine of Pentacles advises you to be focused while enjoying and treating yourself! She also advises you to slow down, acknowledge your success and set a specific focus - perhaps with a new perspective that Venus in your sign reveals to you. Last but not least: treat yourself! Because Venus rules beauty, this week is a good time for any cosmetic appointments.

Pisces: Two of Cups

The Two of Cups is the ultimate love card. It stands for romance and love, bliss and attraction, for soul mates, for the happy beginning of a community and partnership. (It doesn't necessarily have to have to do with love. For some Pisces, it can also represent the beginning of a harmonious business partnership.) But for most, this card will bring incredibly good vibes when it comes to love, regardless of whether it's flirting or a long-term relationship.

These heart-eyed emoji vibes also have to do with Neptune, your planet, which has been retrograde for the past five months and will go direct again on December 7th. Now a great emotional fog is clearing, and the source of your empathy suddenly becomes larger. Now a phase can begin in which you want to hug the whole world - but especially a very special person who you may not have noticed in this context before.

Tarot horoscope for the week from November 25th to December 1st for each zodiac sign

In the week ofNovember 25th to December 1st, 2024can each other,andprepare for a new chapter to begin for them.

This applies to all zodiac signsand its symbolic language, taking astrological aspects into account, helps to create access to one's own inner truth and to reveal which topics are important.

Aries: The Magician

The Magician is a card of the Major Arcana, represents the number 1 and stands for skill, originality, creativity, self-confidence, subtlety and dexterity. But the magician also stands for practice, because the success of each of his tricks is also due to years of perfecting his art.

Look at him, dear: The magician stands in front of his altar. There are four objects in front of him: a cup, a pentagram, a sword and a magic wand. Each object represents the different elements of its environment: its emotional life, its assets, its thoughts and its goals. He can move the objects however he wants. This symbolizesyourAbility to influence your external environment by using your thoughts and intentions specifically. The only thing that is advisable in a week in thewill: Concentrate on one, at most two elements. Choose them wisely. The magician is at your side.

Taurus: Five of Swords reversed

On November 25th, Mercury begins its turbulent three-week period. There can be glitches and delays in general, especially when it comes to technology and communication. The reversed Five of Swords suggests exactly what Mercury retrograde is forcing us to do: mistakes that happen can lead our attention to what we may need to rethink and revise.

The Five of Swords reversed can also mean that you have repeatedly committed to something, only to feel like it isn't really moving forward. This is also a hint: perhaps to give up. You don't have to finish everything! Mercury retrograde can also help you weed out here: Some things aren't worth it, you can give up sometimes, which doesn't lead to success. When things feel overwhelming, there's only one thing to do: take it slow and steady. The recipe is patience and consistency. Don't let yourself be unnerved or taken by surprise, dear.

Gemini: Page of Swords reversed

The Page of Swords is full of energy, passion and enthusiasm, new plans for the future - and a lot of energy for it! It stands for fast, clear communication. This is weakened and hindered by Mercury retrograde (from November 25th to December 15th). And because your Page of Swords appears reversed, you may hold back this week when it comes to sharing information, opinions and the truth, dear. If you want to hold back, follow your instincts, because under Mercury retrograde not all information is always available and not every opinion is appropriate.

The reversed Page of Swords can also represent hot air: Maybe you talk a lot and do little. Be careful with promises you can't keep or words you might regret later. Before you make a promise or commitment, make sure you can keep it.

Cancer: Page of Wands

The Page of Wands is the Page of Fire and fits perfectly into the(until December 21st). His energy is exactly what the gentleneeds now: He embodies a young, optimistic, exciting, passionate and dynamic energy. The Page of Wands encourages you to grow. He has only just begun to reach his full potential. This week he advises you two things: First, don't worry about what others think. Second, set boundaries and decide how you spend your time and energy.

Leo: Temperance reversed

Reverse temperance can be a sign of stress, tension and blockages. Life doesn't flow as easily as you would like. Look at the Temperance card: water flows between the two cups. Maybe you're dehydrated: either literally or symbolically. Try to treat your body as best as you can this week, dear.

It's also possible that you've been acting up lately. Maybe you lived in excess of food, drink, shopping, negative thought patterns, etc. Reverse Temperance is your call to return to balance and moderation now. The rule here is: reduce everything, everything in moderation. This ultimately releases tensions and blockages.

Virgo: Death

Death is the most misunderstood card in the tarot because although it looks scary, it can be one of the most positive cards. It does not represent death itself, but rather a time of significant change, transformation, transition and closure. Death is not about the end, but about endingandbeginning, deathandRebirth: This card opens the possibility of closing one door and opening another. It signals the end of an important phase.

Because it is a Major Arcana card, this indicates a longer period of time and may last until the end of this year. It's up to you, loveto visualize new possibilities. In what area of ​​your life do you want to be reborn? Which door will you close?

Libra: Two of Swords

If there is a card that is so typical-Symbolizes indecision, these are the Two of Swords, so you fit, dearand your card together perfectly, especially right at the beginning ofon November 25th. The person on the card is holding two swords at the same height, their eyes are blindfolded. She doesn't know which sword to take, which path to take - and in this case, that's completely okay.

If you are pressed for a decision this week or are stressing yourself out because you can't decide, remove the blindfold and put both swords aside. This week is not the right week to make an important (!) decision. It may even be that a third, best path will reveal itself in the near future, probably after Mercury goes direct again on December 15th.

Scorpio: Ten of Swords

If you're going through a tough time, the Ten of Swords is telling you that this is a moment in life that will pass like any other. Acknowledge that you find the situation, whatever it is, difficult, dear. That's okay. Because it is the ten, this is about an ending. In other words, be ready to start again, with a different kind of energy.

Maybe with a little less logic, but with more feeling, more fire and dynamism. This is exactly what the Sagittarius season (until December 21st) is ideal for. For now, it's enough to know that a chapter is coming to an end and something new is coming for you soon.

Sagittarius: Court reversed

Have you been feeling like you're sleepwalking through life for a while? Like you're on autopilot? The reverse dish is a wake-up call just in time for your birthday season. Reverse judgment often appears when the universe is trying to send you a message and invite you to something greater, but you are not listening. Why not? Well: autopilot, stress, and things don't work themselves out! Hm. You know that these are excuses.

Maybe you're afraid you're not ready, or you're afraid of the sacrifices you'll have to make to answer the call, or you're thinking: This is too big for me. It doesn't help: the call won't get quieter, on the contrary. You are the most philosophical of all signs and you can and should ask yourself the question: Why am I here? What do I really want to do, how do I want to live? Accept the honest answer gratefully. Follow the call. Live the way you want, dear!

Capricorn: The Hierophant

This is a little week to reinvent the wheel, the Hierophant advises you. And you probably won't want to either, dear. On the contrary: you will feel more of a desire to follow a process that is established. It also suggests that you want to follow rules that have worked well for you so far. Good this way!

Mercury retrograde is already causing all sorts of delays and obstacles, now (applies to the next three weeks) is not a good time for experiments and innovations. Rather accept the conventional boundaries. Nevertheless: Leave space for answers that suddenly come from deep within you. These could involve long-forgotten things that emerge from the past and suddenly make sense.

Aquarius: Queen of Pentacles

As a person, the Queen of Pentacles represents a generous, wealthy, feminine person who has a taste for the finer things in life. She is also loyal, balanced, organized, down-to-earth and practical. Look closely: The Queen of Pentacles sits on a throne decorated with the emblem of Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, also known as Father Time. So the Queen of Pentacles also knows how to use time and patience to achieve her success. She has a good sense of the right timing. With wise foresight, she keeps an eye on the long-term project.

This week is for you, dear, especially this trait: With Pluto finally in your sign (for the next 20 years) and Mercury retrograde (from November 25th to December 15th), time could feel fluid and perhaps sluggish. Important for you this week if things go slower: be patient. Keep the long-term goal in mind.

Pisces: The Star

How wonderful! The star symbolizes the future, new hope, a clear vision and spiritual insight. The card shows a woman at a stream pouring water from two jugs into the water and onto the ground. This act of pouring represents the flow of divine energy and spiritual wisdom.

Now you are asalso in the water and in the flow. Your sign is actually going throughtwoPisces symbolizes swimming in opposite directions, representing the fish's constant dichotomy between fantasy and reality. As the last sign in the zodiac, Pisces has learned and absorbed all the lessons—the happy and the painful—of all the other signs. This week it's easy for you to live that. You can enjoy the divine flow and hear and follow the star's encouragement to connect with your higher self. If you've been feeling disconnected lately, stop now. As a moving sign, you'll suddenly feel more connected to your essence in Sagittarius season (Sagittarians are also flexible). The future and a new hope are ready for you!
